Sound Control for Mac

Product snapshot

Sound Control is a desktop audio mixer that gives you fine-grained volume management for the programs running on your machine. It makes it simple to adjust sound for each application independently, or to shape the overall audio output with a graphic equalizer. The app sits in your computer’s menu bar for quick access and a more streamlined workflow.

Main capabilities

• Built-in control strip for fast adjustments without opening a full window.
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts to change levels or mute apps on the fly.
• A global equalizer with support for as many as 31 frequency bands for detailed tonal shaping.
• Individual app volume sliders and mute toggles so you can balance programs separately.

Access and usability

The menu-bar presence keeps controls within reach at all times, reducing the number of clicks needed to change sound. Its interface is designed to be straightforward, letting users raise, lower, or silence applications quickly while also offering more advanced equalizer controls when needed.
